Cartace by Ag Leader
What is CartAce?
- Turning drivers into skilled grain cart operators
- A grain cart operator arguably has the most critical job in the operation, CartACE keeps the combine and the operation moving smoothly without costly delays or mistakes. Now almost anyone can fill this critical role.
How does CartAce work?
- When it’s time to unload, the grain cart engages with press of button and automatically steers on a line directly under the combine’s auger. Autosteer takes over steering to assist operator with accurately unloading on the go.
- What do you do when the combine is done dumping?
Is this a fully autonomous grain cart?
- No this program assists the grain cart operator
- Simply get close to the combine and engage steering. Guidance line is automatically created using the logged combine data allowing grain cart to steer on combine path for easier unloading.
Can you run this program with multiple grain carts and combines?
- All Machines and Vehicles Connected
- Support for multiple combines working together, combine displays match sharing information live progress and share with connected vehicles.
What other benefits are there when using this program?
- Live Map and Location
- Track combine’s progress with a live map of harvested portion of the field from the display in the grain cart and on iPad from anywhere. Know when and where to be to operate efficiently.
